About HA2 Eye Drop

HA2 Eye Drop belongs to the class of ophthalmic medication, primarily used to treat uveitis (inflammation in the eye). It is also used in the eye before a doctor's examination and after eye surgery to lower eye pressure. Any inflammation in the uvea (inner wall of the eye) is known as uveitis.

HA2 Eye Drop contains Homatropine, which is anticholinergic in nature. Homatropine helps treat uveitis by relaxing the coloured part of the eye (Iris) and dilating (enlarging) the eye pupil. It also helps in reducing pain and inflammation. If a doctor has to examine the eye, using HA2 Eye Drop helps examine the problem better as the pupil becomes enlarged.

HA2 Eye Drop is for external use only. Before using it, break the seal and wash your hands to avoid any infection. If you wear contact lenses or wear them, remove them before using HA2 Eye Drop, and you can put them back 15 minutes after using HA2 Eye Drop. Close your eye for 2-3 minutes and put as many drops as said by the doctor. You may sometimes experience blurred vision, a burning sensation, dry mouth, increased sensitivity of eyes, and a bitter taste in the mouth. Most of these side effects of HA2 Eye Drop are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Use HA2 Eye Drop only if the doctor prescribes you. Never encourage self-medication or suggest your medicine to someone else. Do not take HA2 Eye Drop if you are allergic to homatropine or have glaucoma.  Check with your doctor before starting HA2 Eye Drop if you have dry eyes, cornea problems, or liver disease. Also, HA2 Eye Drop does not stop HA2 Eye Drop abruptly as it may lead to severe side effects. Do not take any other eye medication with HA2 Eye Drop, without consulting your doctor.

If a doctor has to examine the eye, using HA2 Eye Drop helps better examine the problem as the pupil becomes enlarged.
